Founding iOS Engineer

Role

: Founding iOS Developer

Location

: San Francisco

Salary

: $165k - $230k (plus strong equity)

I'm looking for a Founding iOS Developer to build a consumer-first mobile product from the ground up. A true 0-1 opportunity for someone who cares strongly about product taste, quality and speed.

Expect a huge amount of ownership and responsibility, the freedom to build the software engineering function from scratch and a clear pathway into leadership.

This is an awesome product and one bound to get you excited. This startup is onto big things in the future (already a16z backed and strong PMF).

What will you be doing?

• Develop the iOS app from scratch, including designing a smooth onboarding experience and integrating analytics.
• Perform competitive research \& analysis on leading consumer apps to guide product strategy, UI/UX design, and feature planning.
• Aim to launch the first version of the app on the App Store within the first month.
• Continuously improve the product through in-person user testing and feedback, prioritising data-driven iteration.
• Collaborate in a fast-moving, in-person team to deliver a polished, design-led consumer product.

You Bring

• 2 - 8 years of experience in iOS Development
• Strong Native iOS experience using Swift
• You MUST have worked on consumer- facing mobile products
• Experienced owning an iOS feature or app end-to-end - all the way through to App Store release
• Ideally launching apps and optimizing for retention/engagement
• You have a live App Store app or portfolio to share
• Still want to remain IC for now, not pure management
